Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Watch is in effect for the Park Range. New snow and strong winds will create very dangerous avalanche conditions starting Sunday night and lasting through Monday. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended during this time.

Sunday, you will most likely trigger an avalanche where you find more than 8 inches of new or wind-drifted snow. You will find pillows of rounded snow below ridgelines, terrain breaks, and cross-loaded gullies. Slabs could be very soft or firmer. Cracking or collapsing in the new snow are signs you have found surface instability, and you should avoid steep slopes.
